Kate Mahood has a master of acupuncture degree from Tai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts, and is a licensed acupuncturist. Kate is also a Certificate Candidate with Tai Sophia’s Health Coaching Certification Program in the Class of 2011. A member of the American Association of Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine and the Maryland Acupuncture Society, she is a National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist, and also practices the healing arts of Jin Shin, and Qi Gong. Her passion and love for the natural world, is her life’ s work.
A former participant in many programs offered by the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in
Washington, DC, Kate also invites others to come present and find stillness at their center through
various one-on-one coaching practices, as well as group (non-denominational) meditation, and other
coaching modalities.
Prior to studying acupuncture, and on a limited basis today, Kate works as an heritage preservation
consultant and architectural historian, offering consulting services to professional engineers, architects,
governmental and non-profit agencies throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region. She holds a Master of
Architectural History Degree from the University of Virginia, School of Architecture. She had over 18
years of administrative and management experience in this field before beginning her formal studies in
Chinese medicine. A long-term student of Asian art and design, including Feng Shui, she finds both of her fields of endeavor dramatically inform each other on a daily basis. She has taught and guest lectured in both fields.
In both acupuncture and architecture she seeks to offer energetic balance, as well as the opportunity for
restoration of the inner and outer landscapes of our lives. She is dedicated to invoking wellness through mutual and collaborative partnerships. In her coaching practice she is dedicated to the creation and maintenance of “positive, forward moving and empowering conversations with others.” She assists clients in recognizing their choices, identifying possibilities in their lives, and managing their presence in energetic movements and cultural contexts that may appear to limit these perceptions and possibilities. She encourages her clients to understand their inherent gifts, and allow them to be available toward balancing the landscapes of their lives. With nature as our “guide and teacher,” we find wholeness for the many landscapes, One.
She has successful private practices in Annapolis and Columbia, Maryland.
